The Traveler S Soul

"Amanda was no longer alone with her memories as an abducted child taken by Golthlay to the stronghold-- a place deep within the Sierra Madres during the late 1800s. There were others now, fellow travelers, those who have also journeyed, via an illness, an induced hallucination such as Valley Fever, or a spontaneous regression like the Apache brothers, Naiche and Tahza. They are the travelers who belong to a new tribe of souls, a tribe beyond race and tradition, a people who discover their spiritual path and find solace on Pa-Gotzin-Kay re-born."--Back cover.

Former NASA aeronautical engineer and space researcher Albert Taylor believes that there is much we can learn from out-of-body experiences. In this amazing book, he offers an account of his own incredible flights of "soul travel"--and shows us how we too can develop this life-changing ability.

In dreams, part of the self seems to wander off to undertake both mundane tasks and marvellous adventures. Anthropologists have found that many peoples take this experience of dreaming at face value, assuming that their spirits literally leave the body to travel, meet other spirits, and acquire valuable knowledge - with dramatic consequence for relationships, social organization, and religions. Dream Travellers is about Melanesian, Aboriginal Australian, and Indonesian peoples who hold this assumption. Several leading anthropologists contribute theoretically and ethnographically rich chapters, showing that attention to these peoples' dream lives deeply enhances our understanding of their cultures and waking lives as well.

From the creative and highly imaginative author Joseph Lima Sconce comes a highly engaging and deeply meaningful volume that believes that death should not be feared. Instead, it is something to be celebrated for. The Travelers deems that death is the gateway to another world. It is the transition to real, substantial, eternal, and wondrous afterlife. It tries to show to readers that death does not exist. When one dies, he goes to an afterlife but soon, the reward will become immensely more worthwhile and joyful if one chooses to go to heaven. This book reveals that the afterlife is real and substantial, and that all of humans, when they arrive there at some point, will soon realize this. Their spiritual bodies are very much like natural bodies, except that the spiritual bodies are in perfect shape, in addition to basic telepathy and the speaking of a universal language. People in the spiritual world live in real places: beautiful cities or country location in Heaven, noisome slums in hell. People there work like on earth; willingly and happily in heaven, not so in hell, and also enjoy time off from work, which are marvelous in heaven and within strict limits somewhat enjoyable in hell. They are full human beings in the afterlife, in every aspect. But in the spiritual world, time and space function differently, being fluid and connected to a persons thoughts and emotions, that deception and lying are nearly impossible and the economy is a moneyless one.
